[lbo-talk] Taking GE to court over the Mark I reactor safety concerns and poor design?

[Mark Bennett]

Does Price-Anderson apply to nuclear events that occur outside the US?  It
appears to cover damage that occurs outside the US from an incident that
occurs within the US, but a interpretative section of the CFR states that
the incident must occur within the US to evoke coverage under the statute.
I guess we'll find out.

And a little online research reveals that the Nuclear liability issue was a
matter of great debate in India last year with the enactment of the Nuclear
Liability Bill, which caps damages for a nuclear accident at $333 million,
and shifts financial responsibility to the Indian government.
